People, I am aware this has been in the pipeline for way too long. The final hurdle has been finding someone to draw the maps from sketches that are, at least in the case of my scenarios *cough* basic. A most excellent chap called Nick Buxey is now drawing them, and making good progress, so I hope it is just a matter of a month or two now… The final line up of scenarios is as follows: 1. The Assault on Dorchester Heights, 6th March 1776. 2. Pell's Point, 18th October 1776, by Brendan Morrissey. 3. Bennington, 16th August 1777, by Brendan Morrissey. 4. Whitemarsh, 7th December 1777. 5. Briar Creek, 3rd March 1779. 6. Stono Ferry, 20th June 1779. 7. Springfield, 23rd June 1780. 8. Weitzell's Mill, 7th March 1781, by John Ingham. 9. Yorktown, the Storming of Redoubts 9 and 10, 14th October 1781. 10. Cuddalore, 7th June 1783, by John Ingham. |

If it's as good as the third one I'm definitley getting it. |

Ah! Bennington! Good thing I got my Prinz Ludwig dragoons with their 10lb boots done! Now, to get The Band back together. Need more oboes and bassoons! Even the driest historian can't resist a few japes writing about this one. |

Seriously though… You don't even need BG for these to be invaluable. We use the scenarios all the time for Age of Reason and Sword and the Flame games. I'm looking forward to Springfield and Dorchester Heights. |

Cuddalore sounds intriguing; I'd almost be tempted to get it for this scenario alone. Though I suppose Yorktown would give me another opportunity to field my Frenchies. . |

Great stuff, can't wait. Soory to see no Weslh women this time though. |

Cuddalore sounds interesting and different |

I for one would like to see Pell's Point. |

Pleeeeease make sure to double check your maps with someone else as some of the previous maps and set ups are a bit off. Otherwise, looking forward to it. |

Very glad to see India getting a look in. The Sepoys have some seriously curious and beautiful uniforms. Maybe Peter Pig will do some. I'm already basing my collection of 15mm figs around the other three super vols, and will certainly be purchasing IV regardless of brutal exchange rate. Highly rec all vols to anyone who doesn't have them. Hope lots of uniform info ideas will be included. Next time around, can I put in a hope for: more India; some West Indies and some Spanish involvement!! |

Thanks guys for all those appreciative responses! @historygamer – what was he issue with previous maps? am proof reading the SB4 ones at the moment. EC |

Sorry, that was a hurried and dumb post as it was written. First off, love BG. BG rules! (no pun intended) Second have all the scenario books. Will be first in line to buy your new scenario book and will be running multiple BG games at some up-coming conventions. Let me send my nits via SM, if that's okay, since you aren't a member here. |

I'll be sure and pass them on, HG. |

Pensacola in vol 5? Maybe? Otherwise looking very good indeed. |
